Apple recently removed the AI-powered food-logging app Cal AI from the App Store, citing more than just unauthorized web payment links. The tech giant clarified that the removal was triggered by a combination of deceptive billing practices, manipulative user tactics, and blatant violations of App Store guidelines. This move underscores Apple's continued commitment to strict store oversight, even as it faces mounting global pressure to open its ecosystem to third-party payment systems.
